HTML Analysis#

Analyze and extract structured content from local HTML files using MinerU. Preserves document structure as Markdown. For live web page URLs, use mineru-open-api crawl.

Install#

bash

npm install -g mineru-open-api
# or via Go (macOS/Linux):
go install github.com/opendatalab/MinerU-Ecosystem/cli/mineru-open-api@latest

Quick Start#

bash

# Analyze a local HTML file (requires token)
mineru-open-api extract page.html -o ./out/

# Analyze a remote HTML file by URL (requires token)
mineru-open-api extract https://example.com/page.html -o ./out/

# Crawl a live web page (requires token)
mineru-open-api crawl https://example.com/article -o ./out/

Authentication#

Token required:

bash

mineru-open-api auth             # Interactive token setup
export MINERU_TOKEN="your-token" # Or via environment variable

Create token at: https://mineru.net/apiManage/token

Capabilities#

• Supported input: local .html file or remote HTML URL
• HTML input requires extract (token required) — not supported by flash-extract
• For live web pages (rendered JS content), use mineru-open-api crawl
• Language hint with --language (default: ch, use en for English)

Notes#

• HTML is NOT supported by flash-extract — use extract with token
• For web page crawling, use mineru-open-api crawl <URL> instead of extract
• Output goes to stdout by default; use -o <dir> to save to a file or directory
• All progress/status messages go to stderr; document content goes to stdout
• MinerU is open-source by OpenDataLab (Shanghai AI Lab): https://github.com/opendatalab/MinerU
